First Range Rover - Western Sydney

Hi Stuart,

Here are my responses:

Are they the plasticoated wheels on Ebay now?

Yep - I put them on this morning.

Is that a mitch or recovery hitch you've put on the back?

Its the recovery hitch and i got the wiring from the U.K - Took about 2hrs to fit.

Was the tail gate update from PowerfulUK? Not top of my list but it certainly looks neat. Did it come with the colour coded panel?

Yep, it came colour coded in Zambesi, they have a few different pre painted options..

Just to add:

on the PowerfulUK Kit..

The kit and quality is good and I imagine they have invested a lot in it.. It came colour coded to my car which was great.

But the fit isnt the best, even the video on YouTube showing the install shows how bad the chrome strip fits to the top cover... I'll have to keep playing with it..

But i think it looks better...

Thanks for that feedback. Yeah it was a nice touch on the later models. I've been wondering if I can justify it from any practical aspect - less dust accumulation or something?!

Just converted the side markers to smoked LED:

If you're partial to bling you might like the Osram DRL/foglights. Not cheap but great kit

Decided to install some LED DRL lights and replace the tired old 'Range Rover' logo on the front...

Here it is when i started:

Took the lights out (note the new black 'Range Rover' badges):

Forgot to take pics of the spraying of the grey internals Black.. This is when i was putting the lense part back together:

Black Internals instead of the silver and Grey:

Black internals and replaced the Yellow Reflectors with some clear diffuser and silver paper to make it reflect:

Here is the finished product:

New Black Badges on the rear also:

Nice! Love how much fun you're having pimping the ride.
Are the badges more PowerfulUK stuff? Mine are all worn out too...

**johnharte** · 12th June 2016, 08:36 PM

Hi Stuart,

I got the badges (2 x Sets) from HERE

I also bought a caramel wheel to remove the glue/residue from the old badges (on the bodywork) - I got that from HERE

I think i'm all pimped out.... Might have to buy another one just do it again... Its fun!

John, is it difficult to take apart the headlight assembly (and reinstate)?
I assumed it would be a sealed unit like my D4.

Cheers,
Scott

Hi Scott, If you get a Heat Gun and start on a corner - Heat around the corner and the 2 sides (Put some gloves on) and then start pulling the lense away from the housing, once it starts to move - Heat the black sealant and it will come apart.
